I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see this one rise the top-grossing charts soon, and even find Supercell adopt several of its distinguishing features in future updates to stay competitive. My final verdict for Castle Clash is that it complements Clash of Clans well if you’re looking for something similar, better pacing, yet with more depth and variety. As your world rank in the Arena increases, so, too does your Honor Badges per hour. Honor Badges are like Clash of Clans’ Trophies, and are another form of currency earned by engaging in PvP. ![]() A new “Hero Shard” currency, gained from single player scenarios, aid in the training and upgrading of your heroes. I find I actually spend more time playing Castle Clash than I do Clash of Clans because there is more to do. The same can be said of the the Town Hall, Gold and Elixir collectors, storages, towers, walls, etc. ![]() For example, in Clash of Clans, each Army Camp upgrade allows you 5 more troops, but in Castle Clash you gain only 2 per level. I’d have pushed it out, too.Īnd its a good thing… everything feels very familiar to start, but quickly stands out when the surviving troops you send into battle return to their army camps at full health, while commanding up to 5 heroes in battle, when the troops in your Army Camps help defend your base, with a more complete single player scenarios, generous training/respawn times, and generous accrual of precious gems.īase construction and progression is paced quickly to start, giving much smaller upgrades more frequently to give players a greater sense of progress for roughly the same benefit long-term. However, its launch was coincidentally well-timed with the recent influx of new iOS devices fueled by the new iPad Mini with Retina Display and iPad Air and the rapidly approaching holiday season. Know that I didn’t pick up Clash of Clans until about 5 months after its Augrelease, but Castle Clash lacks polish at this point. Released Novemby IGG (I Got Games), Castle Clash is the better of the two Clash of Clans ripoffs I’ll mention here. See our Clan Wars post with a broad overview and some high level strategies for Clan Wars. UPDATE 4.12.14: SuperCell brought new life to Clash of Clans with their Clan Wars update. of Clash of Clans that you might want to check out. ![]() In that search, I happened upon a couple blatant ripoffs, look-alikes, copycats, etc. Therefore, I’ve wandered off a little researching and downloading several new iOS games with promise. Why, you ask? Because, honestly, that’s really all Clash of Clans is worth in its current state.īecause progress is so slow, I’ve reduced my trophies to sub 800, that’s right, the 700 trophy range, so I can at least accumulate more Gold and Elixir than I lose without playing the game so actively (See more of my Clash of Clans strategies). Progress and upgrades take days without gems to boost resource production or outright purchase them, and I refuse to pour any more than my original $9.99 into it. This game has the potential to be good, but it isn’t if players can’t trust they can play it.I continue to dredge forward… slowly, in Clash of Clans. The lag/memory problem is a serious one and needs to be worked on. That this happens consistently across a variety of computers indicates to me there are server-side problems. I’m lucky to upgrade more than one building before the running knight silhouette gets stuck on a loop and that tab or browser window stops responding until I manually shut down the process. It loads fine on all of them, but after clicking on a few things the game starts chugging like a train without enough fuel. I don’t know what versions, networks, or computers you run this on, but I’ve never seen this game run well on Macs or Windows computers, using Firefox on both, Chrome on Windows, and Safari on Mac. > Please don’t consider this a commercial, but switch to Chrome for smooth Castle Clash experience. > I don’t have the loading problem at all, but this game in general runs very badly under Firefox. ![]()
